Viltrox 13mm f/1.4 APS-C to be announced on January 3rd. For E-mount too?
Viltrox is teasing the launch of the X-mount 13mm f/1.4 APS-C lens on January 3rd. The lens is already listed at Viltrox store. A couple of months ago they also displayed the E-mount version of this lens. I don’t know yet if the E-mount version will be announced on the same day or sometimes later.
Happy New Year!
After two years of pandemic I hope 2022 will be the year we will slowly get back to normality. I also do hope Sony will be able to get around the chip shortage issue because I know they have many great cameras ready to be launched. Two of them I already mentioned: A7rV and A9III. But I heard of one more that could let you jump off the chair…. ;)

New Sigma 100-400mm FE lens review by Opticallimits: “an obvious value king”
The new Sigma 100-400mm FE is now in Stock BHphoto, Adorama, FocusCamera. FotokochDE. WexUK. ParkUK.
Opticallimits tested the Sigma lens and concluded:
The Sigma 100-400mm f/5-6.3 DG DN OS Contemporary is a subtle improvement over the older DSLR version – both optically as well as mechanically. The image quality is primarily better at the wide end of the zoom range with a much higher sharpness in the outer image field. The high quality is maintained in the middle range. At 400mm, the center sharpness remains very good but there’s a drop in corner performance. Stopping down helps to broaden the really sharp zone. Keep in mind that the resolution has its limits because of the inevitable diffraction at f/6.3. Lateral CAs are low. Uncorrected image distortions are fairly high for a tele-zoom lens with a peak of 2% (pincushion style) at longer settings. This is, of course, not a drama with activated auto-correction. This also helps with vignetting which otherwise would be very visible at the long end as well. The quality of the bokeh is decent for a zoom lens albeit primes still rule the scene in this respect.
The build quality of the Sigma lens is quite impressive for a consumer-grade lens. Plastics have been replaced by metal near the mount and there’s at least a mount-gasket providing some shielding against dust and moisture. Few will probably take advantage of this but it’s nice that Sigma provides the option of attaching a tripod mount. The AF is snappy and combined with the effective image stabilizer, it’s fun to use in the field – also because it’s relatively compact and lightweight for such a lens reaching 400mm.
The decent optical- and mechanical qualities don’t even cost a fortune either and, as so often with Sigma lenses, the 100-400mm f/5-6.3 DG DN OS Contemporary is an obvious value king. If you want higher quality, you’ll have to invest quite a bit more.
